Re: [Condor-users] Java with Mac OS X (10.4.8)

[Ian Cottam <ian.cottam@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Further thoughts...

Does Condor, when running the Java benchmark at startup, break one of 
the two rules for Rosetta emulated code described here 
<http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1295.html>.
Probably a question for a Condor developer.

I guess if anyone with old PPC Macs has the same problem, then it must 
be something else.
